TA's office hours for the class. Here are some other places you can get help:

 

Math Tutorial Program

Please, contact, Dr Frank Rooney (320 Van Vleck), email: frooney@math.wisc.edu, for that in the first 3 weeks of classes.

 

Math Lab:

The math Lab is is an especially good place to go if you have a quick homework question; more detailed questions are probably better directed to your TA.

Location: B277 Van Vleck Hall (across from the Mathematics Library)
Hours: Monday through Thursday, 3:30 - 8:30 pm, and Sunday 3:30 - 6:50 pm.
Dates: starting the second week of classes (usually), through the end of the semester.
Cost: Free.

 

Private Tutoring:

The Mathematics Department publishes a list of Mathematics graduate students who are willing to tutor students; copies are available on the second floor of Van Vleck Hall, next to the elevators.

Location: Varies; many tutors will meet in Van Vleck Hall: some will meet off-campus.
Cost: Fees vary from tutor to tutor; typical costs are $20 to $30 per hour.
